Does amnotic fluid have a sweet smell to it?

I really dont think i am leaking amniotic fluid but im not sure. Im only having the normal contractions that i have been having for weeks now. The reason i ask if it smells sweet is because when i sneezed a few times i leaked some pee/fluid and it had a sweet smell to it. I havent smelled the smell before. Any suggestions? I really dont think my water is breaking, just wanted to ask.

Mine didn't smell at all. I was looking like a creepo smelling my pants after mine broke, lol.

Lol! I went to pee and noticed i had a little extra wetness in my undies and kind of smelled something sweet so i sniffed. :/ i felt weird doing it, bur i didnt know what the smell was. Like i said i really dont think it os amniotic fluid, but thought i would ask.

The best way to see if it is amniotic fluid is to lay on your left side for about 30 mins then stand up. If you continue to have gushes of fluid when standing, it very well could be your water.

It is common to lose control of your bladder control during pregnancy and it is also common to experience watery discharge.

Great advice! Thank you. I have been having some watery discharge lately and am thinking its probably something i ate thats putting off the sweet smell. Ill take that advice if i feel like theres way more than usual of the watery discharge. Thanks again.
